Homebrew Aefling Species Details
Aeflings are a rare mishap in the natural order of things, as their neighbors take great pleasure in reminding them. Most people hate them even more than they hate tieflings. In their eyes, mixing aasimar and tiefling blood is nothing short of unforgivable, and the product of that is simply irredeemable. Aeflings face the most hate from aasimar and tieflings, because, similar to half-elves, each race sees to much of the other in the aefling. This often leads aeflings down the path of solitude, wanting only to get away from the hate and scorn, but some stray from the beaten path and choose a life of adventure instead. These few who decide to become adventurers have the potential to become some of the most powerful adventurers of all time.
